Quote of the Day by Jacques Ellul

“The entire Bible tells us that Christians are called to be involved in the world. But again, we have to understand what is meant by that. We are there to give testimony about a justification which washes away sin but which never makes it legitimate…”

“If God loved the world, it is because the world was not lovable and good. If God reconciled the world to himself, it is because the world was in a state of rebellion and rejection. It is not yet the Kingdom. The works of the world remain works of darkness, but darkness into which a light has come, which does not validate or justify the darkness.”

Jacques Ellul (1912-1994), The False Presence of the Kingdom (first published in 1963). Mr. Ellul was a French sociologist and member of the Reformed Church in France.
